Chapter 99
In the few days when Liu He occupied Chang'an and tried to stabilize the situation, a breakthrough in Hongnong's battle situation also appeared. Cao Cao led his army to fight Zhang Ji, and won three battles and three victories. Under Yu's suggestion, he adopted the strategy of arrogant soldiers to lure Zhang Ji into battle, and lured Zhang Ji step by step into the ambush circle that had been set up in advance. As a result, Cao Cao gave an order, and Cao Jun fired ten thousand crossbows, shooting all the soldiers under Zhang Ji's command to death. In other words, Zhang Ji's army was caught off guard, and was suddenly attacked. The formation was in chaos, and the soldiers fled one after another, and many soldiers chose to surrender to Cao Cao.
Under such circumstances, Zhang Ji led the army to break through forcibly, but he did not expect that Zhang Ji was shot in the throat by Xia Houyuan, Cao Cao's fierce general Xia Houyuan, turned over and fell off the horse, and died on the spot!
Under such circumstances, Zhang Ji's nephew Zhang Xiu endured the grief in his heart, took over the army, and then led the army to continue to break through.However, when they arrived in Huayin, they were stubbornly blocked by Liu He's generals Liao Hua and Gan Ning. Zhang Xiu led his army to fight for a day and a night, but they were still unable to break through. Cao Cao's army was also chasing up from behind. In desperation, Zhang Xiu had no choice but to lead the crowd to surrender to Liu He.
"My lord, do we really choose to surrender?" A fierce-looking general looked at Zhang Xiu and said softly: "If you really think about it, this Liu He can be regarded as the old general's enemy, because if he hadn't united Cao Cao's old thief, how could the old thief attack Hongnong, and how could the old general die?"
"Hu Che'er, I know what you mean, but you should also know that we have no choice at all in the current situation. Besides, we can't completely blame Liu Shijun for this matter. After all, the relationship between Li Jue and Guo Si It's really too much, even I can't stand it. You know, there was a rare drought in the Guanzhong area this year. Not only did the people have nothing to eat, but even our Xiliang army began to run out of food. In the first few days, the emperor He said that he wanted to send people to help the disaster, but he heard from his uncle that these two people were going to send troops to rob the food that the emperor sent people to relieve the disaster. Fortunately, except for the accidents in Chang'an, the emperor has not had time to go to the disaster relief, and neither have Li Jue and Guo Si. Otherwise, wouldn’t this be another disaster for the common people?”
Zhang Xiu sighed, and then continued: "In fact, I have already persuaded my uncle not to get too close to the two thieves Li and Guo, but my uncle didn't listen because of his fellow countrymen. I talked to Mr. Jia Wenhe in private. For some friendships, I once asked him to predict whether Li Jue and Guo Si would last long. Mr. Wen He also said that they were so arrogant that they would not survive for a long time. Later, I asked Mr. Wen He to give him a way to save his life, so I I advised my uncle to guard Hongnong and avoid right and wrong, but right and wrong did not escape after all. Therefore, now that my uncle is dead, I don’t blame Liu Shijun. If I want to blame, I blame Cao Cao and Xia Houyuan, his general. One day , I want to kill Xia Houyuan to avenge my uncle! And looking at the world, besides Liu Shijun, who else do you think has the strength to deal with Cao Cao?"
"It doesn't have to be Liu He, right? At the very least, we can choose Yuan Shao from Hebei, Liu Biao from Jingzhou, Yuan Shu from Runan and others." Hu Che'er argued a little unconvinced.
But Hu Che'er said with a faint smile: "Mr. Wen He has seen through these people long ago. Yuan Shao is a man who is always scheming, so he is not expected to make a big deal. Yuan Shu is not as good as his elder brother, and Liu Biao is just a guard dog." That's all, it's not enough to say, but apart from these people, do you think there is only Liu Shijun?"
"That's true, but is Liu Shijun willing to accept us? Also, I would like to ask, is my lord really wanting to join Liu He, or is he just staying in his army temporarily, and then waiting for another opportunity to get rid of him?" Picture?" Hu Che'er was even more cautious when asking this question, after all, this matter is also related to his own future.
But Zhang Xiu smiled wryly and said, "Hu Che'er, how do you compare me to my uncle?"
Hu Che'er was stunned for a moment, and then said: "To be honest, the general, in terms of martial arts, the lord is better than the old general, but in terms of the ability to command troops, I'm afraid the lord is slightly inferior."
"Hey, you're putting gold on my face. What do you mean by being slightly inferior? I'm a lot worse than my uncle. I still have this self-knowledge. Just think about it. A character like uncle can I can't occupy a place in this troubled world, so I don't have to think about it, so, I'd better live my life honestly. If Liu Shijun can use me with confidence, then I will be a general , to fight for him, if you don’t trust me, then I’ll ask for a job and spend the rest of my life in peace.”
Zhang Xiu shook his head slowly and sighed softly.
Hu Che'er seemed to have made a decision, and suddenly said: "If Liu He, no, Liu Shijun can use your words at ease, then I will dedicate my ability to him, but if Liu Shijun can't If I use you, I won't do it anymore, and I will spend the rest of my life in a normal way by chatting with you about the household chores."
"Hey, Hu Che'er, why are you bothering? You are not inferior to me in martial arts, and you don't have the history of the Xiliang Army. It is not impossible to get a seat in Liu Shijun's army, but you want to follow me. , didn't this hurt you?"
"No, to be honest, it depends on whether Liu Shijun can treat others with sincerity. If he is really a person worth relying on, I will naturally have nothing to say and work for him. But if he can't use you, then It may not be possible to use me, so there is no need for me to work hard for him. I expect to be annoying, so it is better to continue our friendship." Hu Che'er shook his head and said softly.
"That's what you said, so let's wait and see."
Zhang Xiu nodded, and then stopped talking, because Zhang Xiu had sent someone to see Liao Hua with a letter at this time, and now he was waiting for news from Liao Hua.
At this time, the messenger returned with the letter and said loudly: "My lord, General Liao Hua has allowed us to surrender, and has offered to come to the camp in person to welcome us to join them. General Liao Hua is probably here soon."
"Oh? So fast? Let's go, Hu Che'er, hurry up and arrange people. Let's go out of the camp together to welcome the arrival of General Liao Hua." Hearing that Liao Hua attached great importance to this matter, Zhang Xiu felt a glimmer of hope, and a gleam of joy appeared on his face. , said hastily.
"No, I'll make arrangements for the last general. Hehe, it looks like we won't be useless at least, otherwise Liao Hua wouldn't come to welcome us into the camp in person." Of course, Hu Che'er also hoped that he could have a better one. He has a bright future, so with a smile on his face, he hurriedly arranged to meet Liao Hua.
